Under dark skies and steady rain, hundreds of pro-Palestinian demonstrators rallied at the Port of Tacoma, in Washington State, to block a military supply vessel they believe carry weapons from the United States to Israel.
The Palestinian demonstrators fear any weapons on board will be used in Israel’s ongoing campaign against the Gaza Strip, where more than ten thousand Palestinian have been killed.
According to report, the advocacy group that organized the protests, in line with case manager and community outreach coordinator and Arab Resource and Organizing Center (AROC), noted that a confidential source tipped AROC off that the vessel would be allegedly loaded with weapons and military equipment and sent to Israel, as it continues its military offensive in Gaza.
